Winter is coming: 10 smart ways to reduce those pricey power bills
If the thought of opening your electricity bill is giving you the willies, especially when winter is on the way, join us for a bit of a stock-take of your energy saving habits.
There are lots of ways you can cut the cost of your power bill, it just means being a little more aware of a few lifestyle habits and making a plan to save – and stay cosy – for the long term. Let us show you how …

Heated blankets are a cosy way to stay warm when you’re watching a movie or having story time – and adequate bedding will keep them – and you – toasty warm at night.
Grown-ups can make the most of hot water bottles to cosy up their day, too.
